We weigh the tradeoffs between chasing lifetime PRs and training to stay strong for decades, then land on a simple rule: let longevity set the frame and let smart, contextual PRs keep you hungry. Strain becomes the guide—enough challenge to adapt, not enough to break.
• setting longevity as the framework and performance as fuel
• defining “strain” as appropriate challenge across sports and life
• redefining PRs by age, bodyweight, and context
• building capacity: gas tank, bone density, joint resilience

• competing with yourself rather than chasing others
• planning seasons, stacking small wins, finding a tribe
• using coaching and accountability to sustain habits
